Meet the Princess, the Queen, and the Wise Woman
The Archetypes of The Sovereignty Knot
First, what does Sovereignty mean?
What does it mean to be Sovereign?
Your Sovereignty is your sacred sense of self. Your Sovereignty is your sense of agency and your ability to exert a healthy measure of control over your thoughts, your actions, and your destiny. Your Sovereignty is your inviolable right to physical, emotional, and spiritual freedom.
When you embody Sovereignty, you have full access to your creative potential, and, as you’ll soon see, you’ll use those gifts to make this world more equitable and more enchanting for all.
And it doesn’t end there.
Sovereignty is often a fancy way to say “individualism.” And in the 21st century, lots of folks have taken that individualism to toxic levels of self-serving tunnel vision.
The Sovereignty you find in The Knot is as much about the connection to the land, spirit, and community as it is to personal realization and success.
We seek to become Sovereign in order to empower others to find their own sacred, Sovereign sense of self. A collective of Sovereign, interwoven beings can indeed transform and heal our beautiful, battered world.
How do we access our Sovereignty?
We meet the archetypes of Sovereignty that are within each of us, regardless of age, experience, or gender.
The archetypes of princess, queen, and wise woman are here to teach us to uncover, interrogate, and celebrate all aspects of our Sovereignty.
Sovereignty depends on freeing the princess
(your sexy, brave, carefree parts)
Sovereignty depends on crowning the queen
(your capable, responsible, compassionate parts)
Sovereignty depends on embracing the wise woman
(your still, irreverent, insightful parts)
